Windows VIsta Problem
We have a Sony laptop with windows vista installed. We are running windows 2000 advance server and when i am trying to join the vista laptop with our domain then i get following error."The join operation was not sucessful. This could be because an existing computer was previously created using different set credentials. Use of different computer name , or contact your administrator to remove any stale conflicting account. The error was : Access is denied."I have changed the computer name also but the problem is still there. The same laptop was joined with other domain then i joined it with a workgroup.Please help...thanksregards

Hi,You might want to use NewSID to create a new SID for your laptop.However please image your laptop before using the tool above, as Microsoft does not support images that are modified using the above tool. Once you have ran the above tool, pleaes try re-joining to the domain.Jabez Gan [MVP] - http://www.msblog.org Contributing Author for: (Sybex) MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure Configuration Study Guide: Exam 70-643
